brock

[oakey 57]

ive been ferreting for over 40 years now and in that time ive been very near to badger sets but never had any problems with my ferret meeting up with brock just wondered if anyone had ? (wont go anywhere near now with a spade over my shoulder)

I do quite a bit of ferreting in the west mids & i've never had any problems either, if i'm unsure i just don't put the ferrets down just to be on the safe side.

Do a lot of ferreting here in Cornwall. Can't say we have a problem with old Brogh. If there's any fresh sign of coneys in residence then it's pretty unlikely that brogh is lodging with them!

No problems with brock attacking ferret but i have been arrested for badger digging with ferrets !!! and i have friends witch have been through the same shit, they even brought there little helicopter for a look . It will only get worse with the laws on disturbing setts and jobs worth plod trying to get some browny points.

No touch wood never had any probs with badgers

We seem to incounter a fair few mink over the years one of our

permissions is next to a long stream and although plenty of rabbit holes

we have put the ferret down and a few mins later the fert is backing out

the hole with its tail and fur spiked up hissing like feck

then you see the big black bas**rd down the hole hissing back

Pick the fert up and give that one a miss

BUT WE DO SHOOT THE SODS IF WE ARE OUT WITH THE GUNS
